Default Replacing ice maker flap
Model Number: gss22sgmabs   Brand: GE   Age: 5 - 10 years   

The flap for the icemaker is warped, so warm air is able to enter the freezer, causing frost to build up on the part that delivers the ice. To replace the flap, must the entire freezer door be disassembled, or can only the front ice dispenser cover be disassembled? I'm not sure if I can do this myself, or if I need to call a repair person.

Easy fix. You need to remove the panel for the ice/water. Slide a small screwdriver underneath the panel and it pops right off, there may be 1 screw at the bottom middle. Once that's removed, remove the 4 screws and pull the whole assembly out, and there you can see the flapper.
